i'm finally back from a ultra long break (hiatus if u call it)... it's been nearly a mth since i last updated. whoa, longest time i've ever stopped bloggin
anyway, lots have happened. some worryin stuff, while some worth rejoicing over. haha
wasnt able to blog cos i was in a muggish mode for the promos, and had little life and time for myself so dont blame me man.
speakin of promos, let's do a short intro abt it..
1) Econs
expected this to be the least prepared and the least confident ppr, but i guess prayers are really powerful. despite only studyin 3 topics for Econs, all 3 came out for the essays. and i was super happy and it was such a morale booster. thx God
i think the only diff section would definitely be the case studies, and the mark allocation is seriously insane lah. i dont even know how to start answerin the Qns lah. haha
2) Phy
lemme warn u, dont ever be proud or start showing off. i was tellin myself (and some frens) that i was super prepared for Phy and that i would definitely score better for Phy, than Econs. and that hit me in the back man.
phy was the worse ppr for the entire Promos, it was super chim and hard to understd. think i'll pass by some ridiculous luck. haha. lucky i got C for Midyrs, though it cant pull the overall grade by much but i'm hoping it does.
3) Chem
it was the 1st time i enjoyed doin a chem ppr w/o much pressure. it was relatively easy, as compared to the predictions that i once had. before promos started, i was already thinkin of giving up for Chem cos i heard that the ppr would be a huge killer.
and as it turned out, it was really easy. not easy like chicken feed, but relatively easier as compared to the Midyrs. i think i might have a possibility of scoring a C or D. this grade (to me) is really comfortin.
4) Math
i freaked out on Wed night cos i forgetten half of the stuff i studied for Math, i was callin liqin and both of us were totally un-calm. haha
the ppr was okay. it's not that chim as Midyrs, but i had blanks and stuff that i struggled to recall. i'm hopin that by some chance (or God's blessings) that i get a D.
5) Chinese
if u dont know yet, i hate Chinese and this ppr wasnt pleasant one bit. ppr1 was relatively okay, somehow managed to write a 2.5 pg essay (for me, it's gd enough) even after afew mths of not doin chinese essays.
ppr2 is a killer cos it really touches on ur Chinese standard. ppr1 can still imagine and create a powerful story, but ppr2 is like Chinese Literature. stupid new syllabus.
these are the targets i set for the Promos:
- Econs: D
- Phy: D
- Chem: D
- Math: D
- GP: E
- Chinese: E
i think all are achievable, except Phy. and i think these targets are rather reasonable and at least i'm not crazy to aim for 4As. haha
alrighty, promos aside..
another story to tell.
right before the Promos started, my mom got admitted to the hospital. she was suspected to have certain liver problems. her urine is unusually yellowish, eyes were slighty yellow and her skin color too. to have ur mom in the hospital during ur Promos is certainly not a bonus, that's for sure. but it was super diff to juggle b/w some many stuff..
housework + independent lifestyle + constant thinkin of mom + visits to the hospital + MUGGING
in addition, dad was always at the hospital so i was really home alone most of the time. it was weird lah. it's a 1st time that my family doesnt support me during my exams, and it's a 1st where i really experienced the uncertainty of life.
well. dont wry, my mom is back frm the hospital. thx for all the prayers, cos the doctors cant find any cause for her yellowish symptoms. and her yellowish-ness is subsiding liao, so i'm really glad that God is watchin over her and really doin a healing beyond humanly eyes. thx God!!
i'm having "holidays" til Friday, by which i have to return to Vj for J2 Farewell Assembly. will miss the seniors man, hmm. i'm really really free nowadays, i really wanna go out but i'm lackin cash and the pple that are supposed to shop/movie/etc with me are still having exams. haiz..
lucky it's Family Day tmrw and we're watchin WorldTradeCenter. i hope i can get my mom to get the Topman jacket for me too... heh, the privileges for goin out with ur parents! use of personal money aint required. woohoo
what should i do after i end this post? hmm.. sianz
PS: all the best to those still having exams. u shudnt be reading this blog though, u shud be studyin right?
